Anyone done Avastin? Status results?
My diease MAY be in progression; I will have about 2-1/2 weeks (scans & such) before meeting up with my onc to discuss together & then decicde to keep or change current treatment. I may sign up for a new trial: Avaatin & Tykerb. Yes, I would have to give up on Herceptin. It has been not 100% successful in my case, anyway, since I got my 1st recurrence, while on Herceptin & Femara. My onc nurse told me that, in her wild guesssing alone, the Herceptin has been probably about 75% in her own opinion.
Does anyone know of somebody with BC has been successsful? Also what(s) have their most prominent side effects?
